Linux popsmart.ots.dk 2.0.29 #1 Tue Feb 11 20:36:48 MET 1997 i586
>Description:
When I create a Perl-cgi-script on the Linuz-Apache server it works just
fine, but if the script was created on a PC (WINdoze) and transferred it
won't work I get an:"Premature end of script headers" error, the script
runs just fine in commandline but it won't work through the server, I
have a hunch that this is caused by 'newline/carriagereturn' differences
between Linux and win, but since it works in Linux commandline ('%perl
script') I should think it was possible to get it to run, what do I do?

>How-To-Repeat:
http://www.popsmart.dk/cgi-bin/newtest (made on win95 doesnt work)
http://www.popsmart.dk/cgi-bin/newtest2 (pasted in vi works)
>Fix:
As I mentioned I guess it's something with win/unix linefeed/carriagereturn differences
